In linux you can set the umask to a certain value for usb storage devices when automounting, so again, the other os could do it. Still not a technical problem.


The feature you are talking about only applies to FAT or NTFS filesystems.

In other words, even if only Linux existed you couldn't have a universally R/W usb stick without FAT or NTFS.


You can with bindfs minus a perf penalty

But honestly i would be fine with ms making ntfs a free open standard so we can get better support for it.
